Lane that's a real beauty there. I've got a 67 also and it's so much fun to drive. I'll be looking for a snow plow and maybe a blower for it this year. I want to take all the bad paint job off that  the PO did to it.

I agree - really nice tractor!  For some reason seems they are more fun to drive than my other horses!  Love my ranger, even though I look like an elephant riding an ant:ROTF:!

Beautiful machine.  I love my L107 also.  Great for chores, easy on and off for us older guys.  I have  a blower for mine but my snow is usually deep and she can't really go slow enough on the initial pass to avoid choking on the snow and I do not like to have to slip the clutch for an extended period.

 

You have a 3 spoke wheel and a recess for the LR decal on the belt guard mine doesn't have either.

I have 2 Lawn Rangers. Always underrated as solid work tractors. Of course not plowing a field but just today plowed ice off of my drive like hot butter.

I would put mine up against any stock 6 horse in a pulling contest.

Let me know of any small stock pulling events around Indy.

Sun did a nice job today too! After three hours drive is clear! 

 

The LawnRanger never choked and died once today!  Tecumseh ran great!  Just take a third of the snowblower width of the heavy, wet snow ! Even cleared up the front of propert where the city plowed!  And worked tractor for an hour just sipping the gas!  Amazing what a 50 year old machine will do!

Problem is the first pass you are taking a full bite.  Anything up to 8-10 inches I plow.  8+ inches is too much for her the first run down the driveway.  If I can get an opening she does fine when i can control the amount of bite. I thought about the speed reducer kit but she is my primary chore tractor and if anything i would like to speed her up a bit when pulling a trailer.

Paul:   I have also always used a  slick product on the auger and chute like Sno-Flight to  slicken up the throw of the snow!   Six or  eight of this wet  stuff may have been a lot more of a challenge -no doublt about it!

Great looking Lawn Ranger!! Once I finish some other projects I'd like to get one-it's the perfect size for my yard at home, the 310 8 is overkill. My yard is better suited to a push mower, but that is nowhere near as much fun.

WHX??

Lots of guys says a LR is not a "real" tractor .....thanks Lane for reaffirming my :twocents-02cents: they should be on every horse person's bucket list!

The Lawn Ranger was listed as Cecil Pond’s “favorite tractor” in Michael Martino’s book on the Wheel Horse legacy  Cecil help create!

Lane Tecky`s  get no respect but we know better. I have had many in my time. I know people in the business said they where better than a Brigs any day of the week. I had a 606 one time sit all winter 1st or second pull every time. It`s running. Enjoy.
